I know what you're thinking: Wait a minute! The WSV Pacific Edition
is probably just a lazy ass, and just copied last week's report. But it's
true, and this week was even more disgraceful than against Paderborn:
Ahlen was a man short, and yet scored twice in about 9 minutes!

WSV came out with a very defensive orientation to meet a completely
retooled Ahlen squad. The "Milionarios" had been one of the hot favorites
for the title role, as they spent freely to assemble a high priced team.
But instead of victories, their "pros" turned out to be lazy ass NBA
Warriors types, hauling in huge salaries while insulting their fans with
crappy performances. So Ahlen cleaned house, and a very different team
faced up with WSV...

Despite the defensive start, WSV drew first blood. Gabi Raduta, in another
decent performance, scored in the 5th minute on a clever freekick. WSV was
then pushed back into the defensive, as Ahlen took control of the game.
Siegloff was totally out of his league trying to cover Heiko Bonan, the
ex-Bundesliga player. This forced Raduta back into a more defensive role.
Nevertheless, with keeper Ogrinc in good form, WSV was able to fend off
the Ahlen attack until the last minute of the half, when Karp scored on a
penalty.

In the 2nd half, WSV began to assert itself and force Ahlen back on it's
heels. Markus Kaul, who had started off invisible, began to get into the
game. Siegloff began to play with more confidence, and Sven Steup started
the buildup for the attacks, winning some duels against Verguetchik.
Sascha Lehnhart was having his best game yet
for WSV. This led to Gerrit Meinke scoring twice, putting WSV in the lead
on two more occasions.

In the last 10 minutes, things got out of hand. First, Castilla was red
carded, so Ahlen was down a goal and only 10 men. They attacked the WSV
goal, and unbelievably, the veterans Menzel and Backhaus commited errors,
allowing Ahlen to score twice and win the game.

In the post game conference, coach Gores was so shocked that he could only
mumble. Ahlen's coach Klaus Berge said he couldn't believe that they had
won, although he showed his limitations by claiming a "deserved victory".
Whatever. Talk to to the hand...

Meanwhile, to add insult to injury, the Ahlen Gestapo mercilessly pummeled
the peace loving Wuppertal fans, who were merely bringing some color to
the drab provincial village. Maybe they shouldn't have tossed the Molotov
cocktail at the mayor's mistress' house. When WSV club president Friedhelm
Runge tried to intervene and calm down the wild blackjack wheeling
security folks, he was threatened with a vacation in the Ahlen Motel-6,
which is a branch of the Hanoi Hilton chain.

WSV morale must be so low, they need to look up to see the bottom of their
shoes. With a tough match in the postponed game against Aachen, and the
possibility that the Essen game will need to be repeated, things could
still get hot at the bottom...
